The increased requirements of ISO 22000 had made a revision necessary. ISO 22000:2018 was published on 19 June 2018. As with other ISO revisions, the revised standard ISO 22000 will follow the High-Level Structure (HLS) and thereby facilitate combination with other management systems.

The following goals were achieved with the revision:

• Clarify key concepts (e.g. critical inspection points, operating programs, risk handling, product returns and recalls, external control measures)
• Update terms and definitions
• Simplify and structure the standard
• Improve applicability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
• Reduce regulating content
• Improved compatibility with other management systems
• Cooperation of two separate cycles in the PDCA cycle: Organizational planning and control of the management system and operational planning and control of food safety
• Control of externally provided processes, products and services

Testing and certification for your food safety management system according to ISO 22000 involves the following steps:

1. Pre-audit (optional): Preliminary assessment by our auditors
2. GAP analysis (optional): Analysis to identify possible gaps in the revised ISO 22000:2018
3. Certification audit: Examination of the documentation and demonstration of its practical application
4. Certificate is awarded and entered in Certipedia, our online certificate database
5. Annual surveillance audits: Continual process optimization
6. Recertification after a period of three years
